My work is rooted in quiet, functional pottery and in the relationship between material, form, and the table. I am drawn to the traditions of British Studio Pottery and to Korean and Japanese forms and glazes, working primarily with iron-rich stoneware and a limited palette of wood ash and tenmoku glazes. The glaze recipes I use have been gathered over the years from books, old formulas, and time spent with seasoned studio potters.

Born and raised in Minnesota, I received my BFA in Cinematography before finding my way to clay. Much of my education in ceramics has been self-directed—built through residencies, traveling, firing, and learning alongside other potters. Years of wood and soda firings, from rural Vermont and Upstate New York to Northern California, have shaped the way I think about clay, glaze, and atmosphere.

I hope my pots fill a small part of a life—that they encourage a shared meal around a table and enrich the food and daily rituals through which we nourish ourselves.
